Not seen it in donkey's years: still quite a spectacle. Although the notorious Tree Rape scene was conspicuously absent. I lost count of the number of badly constructed bookcases that Bruce Campbell was thrown into.

I'm not that familiar with Malick's work so this was quite an eye opener, it didn't blow me away but the cinematography was sublime and I was quite impressed by how well the mood of the film was sustained over it's duration.

Really enjoyed it; first time I've seen a PT Anderson film and this seemed like a good place to start. Interesting how (as has been said billions of times) it takes these elements from romantic comedies and sort of farcical elements and incorporates them into this setting where actions have more bleakly sort of 'realistic' consequences.

The chaos of the protagonist's life situation was presented so damn well at a number of points, too.
